High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Briefly blanch the beans first, drain them very well, then sauté them quickly over moderately high heat. Avoid overcrowding the pan and add the egg at the end so the dish does not become watery.
Add the egg once the beans are cooked to your preferred tenderness. Beaten egg gives an even coating, while cracking eggs directly into the pan creates larger, distinct pieces.
Do not let garlic, spices, or oil burn, as burnt garlic is a common source of bitterness. Sauté the beans only until lightly browned rather than leaving them over high heat for too long.
Yogurt, tzatziki, or a tomato salad add freshness and contrast. Serving it with whole-grain bread can turn it into a more filling meal.
Yes. It is a savory warm breakfast option that combines vegetables with egg, and it pairs well with yogurt, fresh vegetables, or toast.
It can work as part of a post-workout meal because the egg provides protein and the beans contribute vegetables and fiber. After long or demanding exercise, add a carbohydrate food such as rice, potatoes, or bread if needed.
Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container within two hours of cooking and use them within 3 to 4 days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout, and avoid repeatedly cooling and reheating the same portion.
It can be frozen, but the beans may soften and the egg can become somewhat rubbery after thawing. For better texture, freeze the cooked beans before adding egg, then add freshly cooked egg after reheating.
Yes, frozen green beans are a convenient substitute and usually do not need to be thawed first. Cook them in a roomy pan so excess moisture can evaporate before the egg is added.
People with an egg allergy should avoid this dish. Anyone at higher risk from foodborne illness, including pregnant people, young children, older adults, and immunocompromised people, should make sure the egg is fully cooked.
